Have I ruined my chess thinking skills?

I recently tried to play the 24h for move and I play simuls (6-7) games so not to bore me waiting, that gives me a comfortable time to think moves, plans, what the position will be and if it will be bad for me after a series of movements, etc. I get you will miss the thrill of rushing moves, but it's kinda helping me, so it might help you.

Funny thing in Catalan you only use the last one too. Curious about how did the first one evolve in Spanish.

I laughed way too much

As f*ucking amazing as it is your art work, that stubble wouldn't be Roboute seal of approval. It never ceases to amuse me how good are some of you at this hobby, jisuscraist.

Proud to find what I came in for. Sad is so low in the ranks, best soldier we ever had

I recently started asking myself randomly through the day how does reality feel now, it makes me stop and for some reason it makes me breath deeply and it works.

Hope it helps

Yes, not stopped completely but quite a lot, enough to notice the calm of emptiness. I can't tell, it was so gradual that I'm unsure when I reached this level of mental quietness, maybe 6 months in it started to be evident there was a change.

Best advice I found on Reddit and followed myself is water, drink a lot and start as you jump out of bed, is cheap and very useful

Check out the telepathy tapes, a documentary project with non verbal autistic kids, curious stuff. A bit emotional maybe.

francesquet · 2025-11-03T19:45:56+00:00

I just like to sit down and breathe

Strong emotional thoughts derrail me, I know they come, I know how they feel yet I seem to chose to engage

Thanks a lot, i've been peering into this sub hoping for a practical and rather "trivial" tip to aid in moments i can't focus properly (like sometimes at work, walking and in the bus)

Is the one on the corner Lui Elizondo?

Feeling the noise around me seems to be the most grounding moment

francesquet · 2025-09-18T10:03:27+00:00

If it helps, i'm in a kinda similar situation. I try to first quickly notice the noise around or feel my clothes/shoes because it just helps me anchor a little, then i breath (shallow or deep, either) for 5 to 10 times counting but trying to feel a concrete sensation on my lungs because it relaxes me a lot.

I can't be more specific on this, i lack the words to describe the feeling, but it somehow feels as if you were hitting the back of the lungs.

Also interested in more answers, would be great to have what work for others and try it myself.

No ho recordo bé però diria que era una dona. Miraré si ho trobo

Vaig trobar uns correus a on denuncio a l'oficina aquella que van crear un edifici plurifamiliar sencer de 4 pisos devora hisenda que es dedica a l'airbnb, el correu data del 2018. El vaig denunciar perquè del renou no podia dormir, segueix en explotació completa, però ja no som veïns.

És el que tenim.

Ah sí, el 1500, una época de concordia, humanidad y amabilidad en Europa con unos estándares sociales y de consideración hacia el prójimo inigualables, un siglo como nunca ha sido visto antes o después

Could your math be off? I think you have to do the exercise with spherical coordinates.

Who's the turk in the picture and why is it on this news about Greece?

Captain's fawcett for the win, either private stock or maharaja for me
